Datastream
provides extensive current and historical coverage of
fundamental data for international equity, bond, commodities,
foreign exchange and futures markets. Macroeconomic statistics
and company accounts for listed companies are also available.
Datastream
data can be accessed either through an Excel add-in or through
a stand alone application, DSWindows. However, the College of
Business only has one account. If a user is unable to retrieve
data or log on to the Datastream service, another user is
already accessing the service.
In
addition, Thomson Financial has deployed a web interface that
can be accessed at: http://nav3.datastream.com/Navigator/ A
guide to the Navigator 3 interface is available at: www.datastream.com/navigator/Quick_Guide_to_Navigator_3.pdf

1. How do I access Datastream? Datastream can be accessed
using the DSWindows application or through the Datastream
Excel add in.

Carey School of Business Datastream account is limited to two

will display a notice when you log in and deny access.

in and it is just sitting there. What is wrong? The W. P.
Carey School of Business Datastream account is limited to one

server used by the Excel add in will not be able to log in.
4. Can I access Datastream from home? Datastream performs
IP verification. Therefore, only users connecting from ASU
will be recognized. Therefore, anyone attempting to use
Datastream from a non-ASU address will be denied access even
if they have the proper log in information.
